I posted about Connie Dover last night and was repeating information from an interview with her that I had read recently. Here is where the interview is: Dirty Linen, #92, February/March 2001. Beginning pg. 39. It seems that my mention of Connie singing cowboy songs to hungry hombres was a figment of my imagination. Unless of course, that bit of knowledge is tucked away in a paragraph I didn't scan. But it sure is poetic to think of Ms.Dover out under the stars singing lullabys to smelly ol cowpokes. She most definitely cooks for the cowboys, though. It's a pretty interesting article; worth reading if you're near a library that carries Dirty Linen.

I picked this up last week, at the same time as I got Bjork's _Vespertine_ (did anyone see her performance on Letterman on Tuesday night? Amazing). It's incredible.
